"Putting" line on golf ball

On the other point as to where you should position the ball with respect to the middle or front of your stance. This is determined by a number of factors;
1. Type of stroke-if you have any kind of tilted or arcing stroke it better be as near as possible to the bottom of your stroke to ensure a straight roll;
2. If you're more square through the impact interval, then it depends on the dynamic loft of your putter.

I find if I use a right forearm stroke I need the ball more forward.

If I use a shoulder-rocking stroke I need it more centered.

The low points change I think.

Agreed Paul,

Where is the low point for a right forearm stroke?

Somewhere under the left shoulder I do believe sir. I put my ball just behind that. Somewhere off the left heel.

And at the moment I usually use a RF driven stroke. All I know right now is I seem to need it more forward or I start pushing it.

In my recent tinkering with a shoulder rocking stroke (Rotated as far as I know) the low point seems under the spine. Much more forward than that and I pull it.

Still working with the latter method a bit but I can putt pretty well with both.
